Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Normally, when you go out to tender, you have your money approved from this Legislative Assembly. I guess I have a concern, Mr. Speaker, because last week in the Globe and Mail, on July 21st, a southern-based newspaper, this government is paying for huge ads in there now. What are they paying these huge ads for? Because we do not have people qualified in the Northwest Territories. We do not have architectural firms qualified. We do not have contractors qualified. We have to look for them in southern Canada now. What are they tendering? The Government of the Northwest Territories intends to construct a new North Slave Correctional facility complex in Yellowknife and a correctional facility in Inuvik. That is how we find out about it, Ordinary Members, that a decision is made. Is this your normal way of doing business, Mr. Premier? Is this a normal way this government does business? Thank you.
